Solution

The correct option is C

Both A and B


The strength of concrete depends upon, water – cement ratio and the amount of curing or the time of setting. The cement mix becomes very exothermic once mixed in water. The resultant mix releases huge amount of heat which needs to be cooled down or else it might leave cracks in structure.
